Center Research Highlighted in CleanTech.com - April, 2008
Excerpt from: Cleantech.com
The University of California's central valley campus is emerging as a hotbed of energy efficiency research.One could be forgiven for assuming biofuels are the sole focus of cleantech research at the University of California's campus at Davis, Calforinia, just outside the state capital of Sacramento.
After all, the agrarian-legacy campus (its sports teams are "the Aggies") is smack dab in the middle of California's biomass-rich central farming valley. And it's received substantial government and private funding to pursue cellulosic technology development.
So it may come as a surprise to some that the university is making important strides in energy efficiency research and commercialization, identified by Energy Efficiency Center founding director Andrew Hargadon as "the most promising strategy for meeting future energy demand and reducing climate impact."
We had the opportunity to tour some of the cleantech operations at U.C. Davis. For complete article.
